25. えー、そうなんだ(共感力) "I am happy!" "You ARE happy."
今回ご紹介するのは、共感する言い回し。でも特定なフレーズ”Wow”とか、”That's great!”とかではなく、相手の言葉を引用する「オウム返し」の英語版!ルールは簡単です。相手の言い回しをそのまま使い、アクセントをちょっと変えるだけ。相手の方への共感力アップすること間違い無しです。例えば、"I am happy!"と言われたら、"You ARE happy" (AREは強調するので大文字で書いてます)と言えば良いです。"It is fun!" "It IS fun!"のようにも使えます。色々なシーンで共感してみてください。

24. ちょっと、忘れてみたら? (Get some fresh air)
ちょっと気分転換が必要な場面、ありますよね?頭を切り替えたり、一休みしたい時、そんな時に使えるフレーズをご紹介します。"Get some fresh air." 日本語と表現が似ているので、分かりやすいと思います。エピソードの中で表現した別の言い方も"Wipe your mind"と合わせて、使ってみてください。
